Cain Westcarr's cause of death?

[Joe K]

Isn't it more than a little strange that amid all the coverage of this story, there is not a word of what he actually died of, in spite of police saying the death was 'not suspicious'? Is it embarrassing? Incriminating for other people? TiG are notably unwilling to allow comments on the story. If the latter, that should be no grounds for silence. Justice should be served.

So suicide is viewed as embarrassing. Perhaps only in the African-Caribbean community?

So now it's 'official', or sort of. Not actual suicide, per se, but 'accidentally hanged', following a row about mobile phone usage...

It's not quite up there with being bullied at school, though, is it? But it's about time the issue of annoyed parents was tackled, so...

I'm not sure if the 30 or so extra viewers I've picked up in the last few days are here because of other places where I display the site url in my sig, or if people are her specifically to see if I will post anything crass and objectionable.

If the latter, I will have to disappoint. I have nothing but sympathy for the life Cain Westcarr must have endured, and even parents can find themselves unable to cope with their circumstances.

What rubs my rhubarb is that in the follow-up to this boy's death, certain persons exploited the situation for their own ends. Some might argue that those ends, a youth club, were noble enough, but the shroud cast over the truth of events casts a pall in turn. Is this chiefly about providing facilities for youths in the area, or a good chance of a job for life for one man, if he can raise his profile high enough..?
